HawtMummie: I wonder what these people fear about the competition, they celebrate foreign airlines gravitating towards going out of business for them to thrive. I maintain MEDIOCRITY ALWAYS FEARS COMPETITION. Put the right policies in place plus some support and we will patronize our local airlines. Must we fly in coffin's to show we are patriotic? For the average Nigerian consumer to emerge winner in terms of quality service delivered there must be diversity and competition. 1 Like |

NavierStokes: That wasn't the case in Nigeria. In our own case, you are forbidden from paying with our local currency (naira). |

ClintonDal: I live abroad also. But you are right about it being a different case for those that live and study abroad. The ones abroad actually send $,€,£ or bring it in, which helps Nigeria. Every aspect of the economy ties into the Naira value. Thats my point and that Nigerian productivity is not established well enough to make their own aircraft or fully maintain purchased aircraft. So Nigeria remains demanding dollars to buy impot goods and services just to have a standard of living beyond nomadic cattle herding people. Economy Ticket i bought to Nigeria from NewYork last year was cheaper than a ticket i bought to Nigeria in the year 1999. Very strange indeed. But Nigerians are resilient at home and adapt to all conditions. Despite fuel scarcity/crisis or collapse of transportation system and other sectors. See this photo, there are alternatives already in action

I just came across this post sometime ago, in our discussion on the currency controls. This seems like a stitch that wasn't done in time, almost like the government and cbn came late to the party. |

NavierStokes:Bravo!... this total devaluation seems to be the way forward seeing as no other approach was working. Hopefully it will totally bridge the forex scarcity gap someway somehow. |

obailala:Yea bro the market started with an initial guess of 253 naira to the USD as the first iteration, it will work it self to a new equilibrium or solution in the coming days. I hope that equilibria at this point isn't 600naira to a dollar, cos each day of delay that passed, pushed our equilibrium point further to the right. Hope you are having a great week already? |

NavierStokes: The gap of about 50 bucks or 20% between the official and black market is simply to high. It shows that the system needs tinkering. My worry is that the solution may be to bring back the BDC. Only problem is that statist Buhari will be against that idea. Also why haven't Naira credit card spending limits increased. Rather the limit was further reduced to $500 .That was just cruel 1 Like |
